threads too tight

Would Not Recommend

Fixture screws initally go into holes easily, but as the screw goes in, it becomes harder to advance the screw so that at least 1/4 inch of screw is left out, and applying more force strips the screw head.

Great box

Would Recommend

Easy to install, tightens securely to wall or ceilings. Great to mount interconnected smoke/ CO alarms. It would be nice if they made some with longer flip out wings for thicker ceilings.
